The Question of Union Brings About q
Heated Discussion.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, May 2G,-Tne atten-
ton OF the General Assembly of the
Southern Presbyterians was entirely &C.
cupied to-day by discussion on the ad-
visibility of organic union with the
northern church. Rev. J. M. Potts
strongly advocated the union just as soon
as il could be accomplished on
terms and conditions safe
and honorable to both sides,
The animosities engendered By
the war should be over. The EDiscopa-
liaps and Baptsts had union with their
northern brethren, and there was chance
forthe Presbyterians TO do likewise The
northern Presbyte-ians were drifting into
southern territory, building churches,
establishing missions and becoming a
part of the south. Many people mad
united with the Congregational church
because they believed the Presbyterian
church OF the south was the church of
sectionslism
Rev. C. X. Vaughan of Lexington, Va,
spoke against the majority report. He
thought the church could rot change its
relations as quickly as business men and
politicians. There were three different
religious differences between the north
ern ana southern church's doctrine and
ecclesiastical policy. The speaker
was opposed 10 allowing such
latitude to women as in
the northern churches. He laid
particular stress upon the color line
CATER 6 time" he said, "you will see
the elegant black gentleman offer his
arm to your white girl and she gratefully
accept IT, The people from Virginia 10
the gull will not have their relations with
the ColOred people decided by the north
ern church. The church must teach
that slavery was moral rela.
ton, not necessarily civil
institution" He would as much expect to
revive slavery in the days OF Ramesis as
now. If it was in his power to revive
slavery now he would not do so. He adj
vi>ed the assembly to be careful and go
slow.
Rev. 3. NJ. Palmer of New Orleans re-
vived the issues of war and bitterly
erraigned the northern church for
what he called the ejectment
in 1861, and followedgit with an infam-
matoTy denunciation, ringing in the color |
line; that that was the cause of the split |
in 1851, and was the cause of dissension
now.

THE EVENING DEMOCRAT.

We do not mean to proclaim our own praises, or put forward special pleas for public support. We are satisfied with the appearance our paper presents, for the one; the generous support we have received in less than three weeks of existence renders the other almost unnecessary.
 Still, we shall be grateful if this practi- cal testimony should continue to grow with our growth. The expenses of daily newspaper are extensive and exigent, re- quiring immediate money payments for everything; and we but ask that our sub scribers should fulfill the conditions of their contract by payment in advance. To each patron the sum is infnitesimal; to us the aggregate would be of importance and encouragement.
 Subscribers ordering the DEMOCRAT now will become only chargeable for pay ment from the first of January, 1888. We shall endeavor to do our duty for the classes and parties we represent-let these classes and parties give us the correspond ing duty of support.

lend brightness to the scene; and hardly a reminder remaining of the rain slush of yesterday. The crossings that up to late last evening, presented discomforts of travel were this morning firm for foothold; and the traders in our leading streets i'm proved the occasion by careful sweeping of the sidepaths in front of their premises respectively. The citizens were out m numbers; women and children gazed ad- miringly at the gayly decked windows of the holiday gift shops; many of the street peram bulators gladdened the storekeepers by generous purchases; and these facts ssadorn the tale" we have been all along telling; that the said storekeepers by a little care in cleaning their pathways in duce visits and invite purchase. This hint will hold good for the days preceding Christmas; for the next week when prepa rations for New Years gifts will be in or
 der; for every week of the winter time
 when customers need the inducements o1
 easy and cleanly facilities, if their patron age be desirable.

THE PRINCE IS PENITENT.

His Royal Highnesss, the Prince of Wales, is getting ashamed of himself, or has been shamed into the shame, for having so pronouncedly patronized the Boston pugilist in London. He thought the agree able interchange of thought and feeling would be private, you know, and that he, the heir apparent to the British throne, could in the solitude and secrecy of a Sporting Chamber, take John l.. by the hand in fraternal and congenial familiarity and praise the slugger for his well devel- oped muscularity. The Prince and his friends complain of breach of the conf dential privacy and are angry that this not very edifying scene should have been given for the public delectation. But the Prince should have remembered that Sullivan was prize ring champion, with ambition to add to his distinction by licking "the blarsted Britishers, you hnow;" and that the opportunity of point in advance was too great and too good not to be availed of. Former escapades should have kept it powerfully and painfully in the memory of Albert Edward, that princely doings cannot be concealed from the knowledge of an admiring, if not a hopeful people, and that the :'ferce light which beats around the throne" will reveal to the pub lie gaze, matters and things which, in a private circle, would remain unheeded. The Prince has been unfortunate in this regard, but then he is prince and his peccadilloes in the Mordaunt case and oth- CTS have been overlooked in consideration of his future Kingship.
 The great point of the Princes regret of his hob-nobbing interview with the pugi- | list, is the chance that it will take from the prize ring somewhat of that seal o1 fashion which the interview had affixed tc it. When the Prince becomes ashamed the people will cease to approve. They call the science of pugilism the manly art of self defense; but there is no f-defense in subjecting ones self.t the punishment ot bare knuckles and running the risk, as we have said once before, of having the hu man frame, developed to its fullest per l IecClOu OI muScu1df oCieASCu 'hu AA"AiJ beauty, beaten out of all semblance of hu manify for the chance of paltry money prize, or the miserable ambition of the tawdry belt of a championship. Then, look to this latest prize fight over the water There is dishonesty alleged in accompani ment to the degradation. We have heard of honor among thieves; but the scenes at and reported results of, and the mutua allegations of foul play, concur in showing that the prize ring is no exemplar of pride or principle. When shall all people ik' the Prince of Wales grow ashamed of thei1 patronage?
